Thanks to the both of you actually, this community is great, hope you both have a nice day! :)
Happy to help :welcome:

TIP: Many times when trying to link to applications in Rainmeter skins, if the full path to the application executable doesn't work, creating a shortcut link to the application, and using it instead, usually will get things working for you.

Love the community too! Have a great day! :great:

Sorry for reviving this thread :P Is there anyway I could make the notes skin start hidden?

You can add the following option to the [Rainmeter] section of the skin: OnRefreshAction=[!Hide] (or if there already is an OnRefreshAction option, add the [!Hide] bang to existing ones).
But unless for any reason the skin hasn't stay hidden, you have to add another option somewhere to your skin, to get it unhidden on some event. You can't manually unhide it, by a click for instance, because you can't click a hidden skin. How would you unhide it depends on your plan, on what you want to achieve.

Oh sorry, reading it back I worded that horribly.

The skin loads up like this whenever Rainmeter is refreshed: https://imgur.com/a/tHpcJSm

I meant to make it load like this, on its toggled state, whenever Rainmeter is refreshed: https://imgur.com/a/eGg5pV9

Add the following option to the [Rainmeter] section: OnRefreshAction=[!HideMeterGroup "gNotes1"][!HideMeterGroup "gNotes2"][!HideMeterGroup "gNotes3"][!HideMeterGroup "gNotes4"][!HideMeterGroup "gNotes5"][!HideMeterGroup "gNotes6"][!HideMeterGroup "gNotes7"][!HideMeterGroup "gNotes8"][!HideMeterGroup "gNotes9"][!HideMeterGroup "gNotes10"][!Redraw].
